The Kaow Pan Saa weekend is over and for our Prathom children it was back to school today( Tuesday 19th).

So, with bags of Lamyai from the weekends harvest it was ” Goodbye, see you later, have a good day”.

The four Mattayom students have an extra day off and then it is test time when they return to school tomorrow.

After a bit of a trip out this morning to collect, Jack from his home and return him to his ‘Special School’ in Chiang Mai and then into town to collect my computer the four older children are spending the rest of the day putting their minds to revision in preparation for their tests.

huaysai childrens home

Continuing our association with Khruu Khem at Huay Sai, I responded to a request to visit Huay Sai on Friday(23rd), to make a photo record of the Kaow Pan Saa Festival, attended by many Lamphun Schools and culminating at Huay Sai School.

Kaow Pan Saa celebrates the beginning of the new rice growing season.

It was a colourful affair with children and adults from the many schools all dressed up in their different traditional costumes. All meeting at the local Wat, the procession got under way at around 2.30.

There were many colourfully adorned pick up trucks and marching bands as well, adding to a great atmosphere.

Thankfully the rains, that had been on and off all day, held off during the procession.

All the children seemed to enjoy the affair very much.

My ex-pupils from Pasak school were in attendance and it was very nice to see them all again. I do miss you lot!

Sadly I could not stay for the whole celebration as, with House Mother on her day off, I needed to get home ready for our children to get back from school.

I sure it all went well and hope everyone enjoyed it.

For all the photos please visit our photobucket album here.

For all the video clips visit our youtube here.
